Akshay Kumar opens up on self doubt around educated people
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar made a candid revelation that has struck a chord with fans, admitting he often feels insecure in the presence of highly educated individuals.
Known for his disciplined lifestyle and self-made success, the actor surprised many by openly reflecting on his academic shortcomings and the impact they still have on him today.
During a recent episode of his show, Akshay praised a contestant for her impressive educational background before turning introspective.
Sharing his thoughts honestly, he said, “Koi bhi insaan, khaas kar mujh jaisa joh zyada padha likha nahi hai, main kabhi kabhi bohot chhota mehsoos karta hoon aap jaise logon ke saamne.”
He further admitted that he sometimes regrets not pursuing education earlier in life but acknowledged his own lack of interest in studies as a major reason.
The conversation took a heartfelt turn when the contestant explained how her academic achievements had opened doors for her. Moved by her response, Akshay encouraged viewers to prioritise education, saying they should follow individuals like her rather than his unconventional path.
He also spoke about his wife, Twinkle Khanna, highlighting her literary accomplishments while contrasting them with his own habits. In a light yet honest moment, he revealed that he has never been able to develop a connection with reading, despite trying.
By speaking so openly, Akshay chose not to mask his reality but instead used his platform to underline an important message while success can come in many forms, the value of education remains irreplaceable.
